How we approach skylight installation in Lurgan
Thinking about skylight installation in Lurgan? The short answer: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. Skylight installation suits builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Craigavon (4 km) and Portadown (9 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Lurgan?
Most rooflights on houses in Northern Ireland are permitted development under Class B, but not in a conservation area or on a listed building's curtilage. A side-facing window within 15 m of a neighbouring boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Technical Booklet F1 (2022) asks for replacement windows and rooflights in existing homes to reach WER Band C or a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K, assessed in the vertical position. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged.
Who handles building control?
We tell you which route applies — building control approval, a building warrant in Scotland, or in England and Wales self-certification by a registered competent person — and supply the product data.
Do you fit rooflights bought elsewhere?
Yes. We check the product and the opening first, and our workmanship terms cover the fitting rather than the product.
Do you offer skylight installation in Lurgan?
Yes. We carry out skylight installation in Lurgan and across County Armagh. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Lurgan?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
